Hi,
I'm having problems getting diald to work properly at the moment. I have
sucessfully had it running in the past, but I inadvertantly deleted the
diald.conf file and can't get it working since.
I have updated to a 2.3.99-pre6 kernel in the mean time which may have
some bearing. I had no trouble with 2.3.99-pre3 kernels. I have also
updated to ppp-2.4.0b2, since it is supposedly required for pre6 and
later kernels.
I using Redhat6.2.
Anyway...problem description
I can successfully start a PPP link manually using..
# ifup ppp0
diald itself starts ok and it seems to install the ethertap interface
OK....
# ifconfig -p

but when I try to initiate a connection I get the following appearing in
syslog.....

May 11 13:58:01 shankly chat[2892]: Can't get terminal parameters:
Invalid argument
May 11 13:58:01 shankly connect: Failed to initialize modem
for the connect argument in /etc/diald.conf I've got the following
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -f /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp0'
Any thoughts? I'm guessing that it's some stupid error on my part, but I
can't see it.
